It Might Be Hope

Sara Groves is my very favorite musician. She and a few others (such as Switchfoot) have given me many songs of healing, understanding and hope. These are the lyrics to one of her newest songs and they are really carrying me right now in my efforts to strive ahead in hope...

It Might Be Hope by Sara GrovesYou do your work the best that you canyou put one foot in front of the otherlife comes in waves and makes it's demandsyou hold on as well as your able

You've been here for a long long time

Hope has a way of turning it's face to youjust when you least expect ityou walk in a roomyou look out a windowand something there leaves you breathlessyou say to yourselfit's been a while since I felt thisbut it feels like it might be hope

It's hard to recall what blew out the flameit's been dark since you can rememberyou talk it all through to find it a nameas days go on by without number

You've been here for a long long time

Hope has a way of turning it's face to youjust when you least expect ityou walk in a roomyou look out a windowand something there leaves you breathlessyou say to yourselfit's been a while since I felt thisbut it feels like it might be hope[It Might Be Hope Lyrics onhttp://www.lyricsmania.com/ ]

And, as always, if I really sit back and look at these sweet, sweet faces I will find that my hope has been there all the while - I just misplace it from time to time.

I am a wife, mother of four, daughter, sister and friend. I am seeking to grow and learn through the moments and events of my life (both great and small). Any and all growth, change, strength, or shred of wisdom comes from the mercy of God through Jesus. This is my place to share and explore these great and small moments that come together to create my life.

"You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, and training them up in God's fear, and minding the house, and making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts." Charles Spurgeon
